Prediction: wrong Jackson   wrong Decision  

I'm scared Quinton says he just wants an exciting fight and he isn't training at Muscle Pharm so I'm scared he's lacking motivation and I believe he is going for a just knockout him out standing approach. Rampage looked impressive against Jon Jones for the first 2 rounds defending Jones takedowns very well. I think motivated Rampage takes this with good wrestling and sharp boxing. Demotivated aka (Forrest-Rampage) may lose since Bader already knows Rampage's game plan and I believe will only look for takedowns. If motivated and smart Rampage shows up he will win. If not, don't be too surprised.

Those are my thoughts exactly. I'm thinking of changing my pick to Bader. I don't think Rampage will be fighting for much longer to be honest

After watching what Tito Ortiz did to Bader, I really don't see him having much of a chance against Rampage.

I've kind of given up hope when it comes to Rampage these past few years, hasn't really been him old self recently. If fighting in Japan doesn't get him excited enough to mix it up and manage a finish I don't know what will.

Prediction: wrong Jackson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Bader has bad footwork, bad boxing technique, is slow and has a (seemingly) suspect chin.  He also will not be able to consistently take and/or keep Rampage down.  That all adds up to Quinton's first stoppage in over three years and in the most appropriate setting possible for it.

Rampage should dominate this fight. Bader gasses so quickly, its not even funny. In Japan, crowd goes crazy, Rampage gets the stoppage early in the 2nd round.

I just don't think Rampage cares anymore, coupled with the fact that he missed weight and his care free attitude about his training habits, Bader wins a UD.

I think Rampage is gonna try to make this a street fight.  He wins a street fight but loses an MMA Match.

bader looked quite a bit bigger to me. i still think rampage wins and think he might have done this on purpose. he said he was sick of fighting wrestlers so he gives up 20% of his purse for some extra weight to help with the TDD.

@wolfmanhowl did u hear rampage explaining that he had an injury prior to flying out that impeded him from doing any cardio? He's going into the fight with an injury, probably a knee injury. I think I'm changing my pick now to Bader

Rampage looked unhealthy at the weigh ins, and inspite his extra pounds Bader still looked bigger and stronger, Rampage will need a very good gameplan to take this win, I say Bader has a better shot

I really disagree, i like bader a lot but I dont see him even gettin close to this win
really, he couldnt have a worse matchup, Rampage is a guy who is nearly impossible to get to the ground and has great striking. Although he hasnt shown his great striking lately a person just doesnt forget how to do techniques. Rampage will win this in dominate fashion especially with him being pumped up by being in japan. 
 I see this fight being much like the matt hamil fight.
I think Bader will lose and then Bader and Phil Davis will fight.
